    Steam won't install anything

    Ok so as the title says when i download my games on steam it never finishes them. I had this problem before but i was always able to fix them quickly by either clearing my download cache or verifying the game files. This time however, Iโ€™ve tried to install four games and all of them stopped downloading and gave the same error:โ€˜Disk Write Errorโ€™ Now Iโ€™ve researched this a lot in the past few days and i tried a bazillion things but nothing worked. I have entirely redownloaded a game, didnโ€™t work. I have Checked the firewall options and the writing permissions for the drive Iโ€™m downloading to, Didnโ€™t work. Iโ€™ve tried switching up the download regions but that did no good either. I am desperate does anyone have a solution or possible things I can try? (Note: Lately my pc has been verifying my hard drive every time i boot up my pc, and every time it reaches 99% it turns off and on, and begins anew. I have been bypassing this by spamming delete just before itโ€™s started checking my drive and then it just cuts to the login screen for windows. I donโ€™t know if this has anything to do with me not being able to download anything but it stood out to me so idk.)

    I suspect that your hard drive is failing.
    I would back up your files immediately using imaging software (Macrium).
    Run chkdsk on the drive either by Start>Run & enter chkdsk C: /f or by Computer>right click on C>Tools>check drive for errors.
